4 SETUP

4.1 AC Power

The machine has a fixed voltage power supply and can work with an input voltage of AC 120 V, 60 Hz, depending on the specific model.

To determine the products power requirements (circuit breaker, power outlet, and wiring), use the current value listed on the label affixed to the products back panel, or refer to the products specifications chart. The listed current rating indicates the product's average current draw under normal conditions.

Always connect the product to a protected circuit (circuit breaker or fuse). Make sure the product has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.

Never connect the product to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to 100% switch.

4.2 AC Plug

The TITAN 1800 PRO comes with a power input cord terminated with a Lockable Powercon IP65 connector If you need the change the plug, use the table below to wire the new plug:

• All the machines have been paired with the controller included (with certain address code) before leaving the factory.

- When "Wireless" function is ON,

Wireless

ON

there will have a Wireless Pairing process at the start-up of the machine. New wireless remote controller(s) can be paired with machine during this process before the progress bar reaches the end.

WirelessPairing

• If no new pairing happens during the paring process at the start-up, the previous paired remote controller(s) will be memorized and kept functioning.
• Once there a new pairing happens in a new pairing process, all the previous paired remote controller(s) in previous pairing process will be forgotten.
• During the wireless pairing process at the start-up (if wireless mode is on), one machine can be paired with up to 5 units of RF wireless remote controllers with different address code and controlled by all of them at the same time.
  • All the paring of RF wireless remote controllers (up to 5 units) must be done during the same paring process.
• Once a machine is paired with a remote with certain address code, it can be controlled by all the same type pf controller with same address code.
• One wireless remote controller can be paired and memorized by multiple machines simultaneously and control all the paired machines at the same time (if within range).
  • If the machine doesn't need to be controlled by wireless, then just turn off the wireless option in the menu.

5.5 DMX Channels

DMX CH 1 – Fog Volume

5.6 Fluid Sensor

This machine uses software-based fluid sensor to detect whether there is fluid inside tube so as to protect the pump from being damaged. Turn on the "Fluid Sensor" to activate "No Fluid Protection" function.

5.6.1 Trigger "No-Fluid Protection"

When the Fluid Sensor is ON, the software-based “no-fluid protection” function will be activated. After the program continues to detect the machine working with no fluid inside the tube for 1 minute, the pump-shutoff will be activated with the flickering warning page showing on the screen.

5.6.2 Clear "No-Fluid Protection" Warning

When the machine is under the no-fluid protection, after refilling the fluid, there are three ways to clear the warning.

• Press and hold ENTER until the fluid is pumped and fill the tube.
  • Under the DMX control mode, bring down channel 1 to OFF (value 0-9), then up to ON (value 10-255),
• Turn off "Fluid Sensor" in the menu.

6 TECHNICAL INFORMATION

6.1 Maintenance

Do not allow the TITAN 1800 PRO to become clogged. After every 40 hours of continuous operation, use distilled water or for a more thorough clean Froggys Fully Clean after use to prevent the accumulation of particulate matter in the heating element.

The recommended cleaning procedure is as follows.

1) Unplug the product from power.
2) Empty all fluid from the machine.
3) Dip fluid intake tube into 1 cup of cleaning solution/ distilled water.
4) Connect the product to power and allow it to warm up.
5) Run the product in a well-ventilated area until the cup is empty. Do not allow the pump to run dry.
6) Repeat until satisfied with fog output.
7) Refill with fog fluid to continue using the TITAN 1800 PRO. Run the machine briefly to clear any cleaning solution from the pump and heater.
8) Excessive dust, fluid residue and dirt will degrade performance and cause overheating. Remove dust from air vents with air compressor, vacuum or soft brush. The casing could be cleaned by the damp cloth.

Test-run your FROGGYS FOG® TITAN 1800 PRO on a monthly basis to achieve the best performance.

6.2 Storage

6.2.1 Machine Storage
